Joe · Dec 5, 2016

Hmm, has it sold since this thread was posted? Do we have a closet U90 collector in our midst?! haha

This auction, seller and description to me opitimize the worst kind of greed that we have active in this hobby.

Clearly I don't agree with this but I can see what the seller gets from it - what is truly worrying is that out there somewhere is someone off the bottom of the IQ chart with plenty of cash that has not only infected the SW collecting community but could also one day further pollute the gene pool :twisted:

How can you disagree with these 2 words ^^^^^^^^

Pretty sure this must be a case of shill bidding on this as nobody in their right mind would pay this for something that looks so poor.

ScruffyLookingNH · Dec 6, 2016

No one actually paid for this, did they? I don't believe so. It really is quite impossible. If you're the kind of syphilis infected cock that collects this sort of thing then surely you would pay $200 for a MISB one and whatever AFA charge to destroy the thing? No one, no one at all on this rock would pay that for that. I have no idea who the seller is but they clearly are worthy of drowning.

Unfortunately this wasn't an auction, it was a BIN or best offer.

I refer to my previous statement :lol:

Bonkers! I thought it was bad enough when a graded Wampa AFA 80 sold for £120 about 6 months ago on eBay.

There's no way someone brought that Tautaun?

plantainman · Dec 7, 2016

2k was my limit on this. gutted to have missed out, again!

StarWarsFan · Dec 12, 2016

God that is madness

palitoyjunky · Dec 26, 2016

**** that there is no way on God's Earth someone paid 2.3K for that :!:
I'd rather b mugged on the street for over 2K than do that :lol:

Encased is a Snow Lizard,
To protect from the Hoth blizzard,
Certainly marbles have been lost,
To even justify one tenth of the cost,
Madness is all around,
Prices will continue to astound,
But the adage again is imparted
A fool and his money are soon parted!
